In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the oil to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.

Step 3

Step 4

Working in batches, use a small scoop or tablespoon to carefully drop about 1 Tbs. of the batter into the oil for each hush puppy. Fry, turning often with a slotted spoon, until the hush puppies are golden brown, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining hush puppies. Serve immediately. Makes about 40 hush puppies.
